The Telegraph understands that the incident took place on public land in a lane close to the Sandringham Royal Parkland.
Norfolk Constabulary was alerted and officers attended the scene where they arrested a suspect and took him for questioning. Police were also understood to be searching the man’s vehicle for any sign of a weapon.
A spokesman for the force said: “Officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7.30pm on Wednesday following a report that a man was behaving in an intimidating manner in the village.
“Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon. He was taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning, and remains in custody.”
The incident took place close to Marsh Farm, the property on the Sandringham Estate to which Mr Mountbatten-Windsor relocated after leaving Royal Lodge in Windsor last year.
It is understood the former duke was shaken by the incident and was asked to provide a statement, as was his personal protection officer.
There have been concerns that he could be exposed to more security threats since moving to the rural location.
The King withdrew his younger brother’s personal allowance and private security provision in 2024 as he attempted to force his removal from Royal Lodge.
